My Practice

I work primarily with women and couples who are seeking more than coping strategies or symptom relief and provide psychotherapy throughout North Carolina via telehealth.

My work centers individuals seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the patterns shaping their lives.

I also offer consultation and reflective coaching outside the therapy setting nationally and internationally.

Who I Work With

Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable, and deeply attuned to others, yet find it difficult to remain connected to themselves. Some are navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, life transitions, or questions of identity. Others arrive feeling stuck in familiar patterns despite years of insight, self-reflection or previous therapy. Many are balancing multiple worlds at once: negotiating family expectations and personal values, belonging and individuality, achievement and fulfillment.

I am particularly experienced in working with those connected to South Asian, Middle Eastern/SWANA, immigrant, bicultural, transnational, and Third Culture backgrounds.

What Brings People Here

My clients often arrive here after years being the responsible one, the capable one, the mediator, the caretaker, the person others rely on. From the outside, their lives may appear successful and well-managed. Yet internally, they feel exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure why the same struggles continue to emerge in different forms.

They may find themselves caught in recurring relationship patterns, struggling to set boundaries without guilt, carrying family expectations that feel difficult to question, or feeling pulled between different cultural values, identities, and ways of living. Some clients come feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. Others arrive with a quieter sense that they have spent much of their lives adapting to others and are no longer sure what they want for themselves.

For many, the concerns that bring them to therapy are connected to something larger than a current symptom or life circumstance. Questions of belonging, identity, family history, migration, loss, loyalty, and emotional inheritance often sit beneath the surface.

Therapy with me offers a framework for exploring any and all issues in depth. There are no topics that are off limits. Together, we create space to understand these experiences more deeply and to develop a different relationship with them.

My Approach

My work is psychodynamic, relational and culturally informed. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I am interested in the deeper emotional experiences, relationships and the histories that shape them.

Together, we explore patterns that may have developed over time: ways of relating, coping, protecting yourself or making sense of the world that once served an important purpose but may no longer fit your life.

The goal is not simply insight for its own sake. It is to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and greater freedom in your choices so you can create the possibility of meaningful, lasting change.

Community

I care deeply about creating mental health access for South Asian and immigrant communities in the US, and remain open to partnerships and consultations with other clinicians and organizations around these issues.

I employ a social justice lens, am identity-affirming and LGBTQIA+ allied.
